The Model F and A are not the same pattern and fit differently. I could tell immediately the two jackets do not share the same pattern.
To confirm, I called just called Vanson about 3 minutes ago, spoke to a pattern maker and I asked whether or not the A and F share the same pattern and she immediately said no.
Model A is its own thing she said. The Model F however, shares the same pattern as the Model B and D. Which is too bad, since I was eying up the Model D but it is now off the list.
I'd love something that fit like the A but with a normal shirt style collar. I am buying another model A in a size 40 for riding my motorcycle, but right now I am after an every day jacket.
You're right, Model A is a different pattern to B/D/F/Enfield. Never meant to question that, my bad. Was distracted when I wrote the last post and for some reason I wrote Model A instead of Model America. I don't even own the Model A. I own the America jacket, which is the model B with flag and stripes. And while it may be a worse range of motion than the Model A, which I cannot judge because I don't own the A, it certainly isn't raising to my ears when I hold out my arms horizontally. So maybe the B/D pattern isn't as good as the A pattern, but I still believe it fit you so poorly partially because it was too large for you, as you have stated yourself. Again, i apologize for the missunderstanding.
